Abstract

A shallow-water fauna of terebratulide brachiopods, bryozoans, and bivalves is described from the western margin of Rockall Bank, occurring in phosphatized ferruginous sandstones of 'greensand' facies. 'Cameithyris' rockallensis sp. nov. suggests a date of Upper Cretaceous age, possibly as young as Maastrichtian. A glacial origin is possible.
